[Review] Garnier Sakura White Pinkish Radiance Whitening Cream

Hi girl, 

You may know that I am still searching the best moisturizer for me. After using high-end product that work so so, I think it's time to try cheaper 'drugstore' product for my skin. My choice is Garnier Sakura White for my new moisturizer. I choose this product because the face wash is work great on my skin. Besides, my friend also using this product and work well on her. 

Garnier Sakura White Day Cream for Dry Skin

I only use the day cream because I already have the retinoid product as a night cream. That also the reason I need day cream with SPF and PA (UV Filters). Luckily, this day cream for dry skin has SPF 21 and PA+++. I think that is quite enough for me and sometimes I don't need to put on some additional sunscreen. I heard that the cream for oily skin is without UV Filters. This product also dermatology tested and suitable for sensitive skin. 

The tube

It says that this product is enriched with Japanese Sakura Extract and Whitening Vitamins (B3 and CG) nourish skin deeply and help lighten skin tone and dark spots, refine skin texture, and smoothen pores. After 4 weeks, the skin becomes 60% more pinkish radiant.

Texture

The consistency is cream. The color is pink. It has flowery fresh scent. I imagine that it's the scent of Sakura Flowers. It doesn't break my skin out. It also doesn't have oily effect.

How to use : 

Spread evenly on perfectly cleansed face and neck.

Result : 

I've been using this product almost every day for more than 4 months. Actually, I don't like the pinkish radiant effect. My skin tone is yellow. Imagine my yellow skin with pinkish radiant. Luckily, the pinkish radiant effect is not work on my yellow skin. I don't get pinkish radiant skin but  lightening yellow skin. Yep, I can say that my skin is more lightening. I also don't put additional sunscreen but I don't get burning after doing some activities outdoor. By the way, I already repurchase this product and my cream is almost run out right now.  

I like this product, but it's not my holy grail moisturizer. I'm still searching the best, but for now, I'm quite satisfied with this product. If only this product doesn't have pinkish radiance effect, I would love it. I still search the product that nourish my skin but doesn't give whitening effect.

What I like ; 

- Cheap.

- Easy to find (Available in nearby minimarket).

- Has SPF 21 and PA+++.

- Work quite well with my yellow tone skin.

What I don't like : 

- Pinkish radiant. T_T

Price : IDR 20,000 (USD 1.8) for 18 ml.

Repurchase : Yes, as long as I haven't found better moisturizer. This product is safe for my skin. 

Score : 8/10

[Review] Garnier Neril Hair Tonic Anti-Loss Guard

Hi girls, 

Now, I will talk about the savior of my hair loss problem. Actually, this product is one of the cheapest one. There are plenty of expensive hair loss product. Yes, I chose this product because of its price. Hahahaha... I also read some good reviews about it. 

Lets jump to the product, Garnier Neril Hair Tonic Anti-Loss Guard. 

Garnier Neril Hair Tonic Anti-Loss Guard

It says on the package that it contains selected plants concentrate to help reduce falling hair caused by undernousrishment and scalp imbalances. It cares for both your hair and scalp. It helps your hair become healthy strong and beautiful. 

The package

The package has box outside. Its bottle made from thick plastics in brown color. It's doesn't weight a lot. it also has small hole on top of the bottle. It's quite enough to let the liquid go. The lid is dense enough to prevent the liquid spill outside.   

Ingredients

It contains selected plant concentrates of nettle, chamomile, birch, wheat extract, and horsetail especially selected to protect and maintain the capillary network, which is essential for hair growth. Together with vitamin complex, protein and menthol, this concentrate work to nourish and strengthen the stressed and worn-out hair root, so that hair grows healthy again. 

The Consistency

The consistency of the hair tonic is liquid with blue color. It has quite strong scents. I'm not quite sure this is the smell of alcohol or menthol. The scent is fresh I think. 

How to use : 

Simply massage Garnier Neril Anti-Loss Guard into the scalp everyday for 3 minutes. It can be applied both on wet and dry hair. Continue the treatment minimum 2 or 3 times a week to prevent the problem from recurring. 

Result :

Yup, I got the best result after one month using it. My hair loss problem was resolved. Unluckily, the problem  comes back after I stop using it. While I was using it, my hair was healthier. I could feel that. I think to get the better result, you should using it constantly. 

What I like : 

- Cheap.

- It works as what it claims.

Wat I don't like : 

- It just works as long as I using it. I feel like my hair addicted to it. 

Price : around IDR 50,000 (USD 5) for 100 ml.

Repurchase : Maybe. I want to try other hair tonic.

I have read somewhere, that you should wash your hand after applying hair tonic, because if there is residue of hair tonic in your hand and you touch your face, you can grow your face hair. :)

I also read the different between hair loss and hair fall. Hair loss means that the problem is from the hair root. Your hair leaves because the root is undernourishment. In the contrary, If you have hair fall problem, it means that your hair doesn't strong enough and broke off in the middle of the hair. So girls, pay attention to your problem and search for the best solution.

[Review] Dove Nourishing Oil Care Shampoo and Conditioner

Hi fellas, 

After long time, now, it's time for me to review my new shampoo and conditioner. As you may know, I'm still looking for the best hair product for me including shampoo and conditioner. Now, we jump to the drugstore product that has good review outside. They are Dove Nourishing Oil Care Shampoo and Conditioner. 

Dove Nouriching Oil Care Shampoo and Conditioner

Actually, I've been interested with oil care shampoo and conditioner since like forever. I want to try oil care shampoo from other brand, but I'm too afraid to try new shampoo. I chose Dove because I had used its anti dandruff variant before and it didn't give bad effect on my hair. So I try this Dove shampoo and conditioner.

Both of this products are made for dry hair. They say that they have advanced nutri-oils from coconut oil, almond oil, and sunflower that help to nourish dry hair without make hair looks dull.

Their package

 The package is similar with another Dove shampoo and conditioner variant, but the oil care variant has gold color the front side. The conditioner has lid in the bottom is also useful when the product is almost run out, it make it easier to be come out. 

The consistency

For the consistency, the shampoo is runnier while the conditioner is thicker. Both have light yellow color. I can say that their consistency is quite similar with other shampoo and conditioner products.

Ingredients : 

Shampoo : Water, Sodium Laureth Sulfate, Dimethiconol, Cocamidopropyl Betaine, Perfume, Sodium Chloride, Glycol Distearate, Glycerin, Carbomer, TEA-Dodecylbenzenesulfonate, Guar Hydroxypropyltrimonium Chloride, Mica, Disodium EDTA, PEG-45M, DMDM Hydantoin, Titanium Dioxide, Prunus Amygdalus Dulcis (Sweet Almond) Oil, Helianthus Annuus (Sunflower) Seed Oil, Cocos Nucifera (Coconut) Oil, Methylchloroisothiazolinone, Methylisothiazolinone, CI 17200, CI 19140, CI 42090.

Conditioner :

How to use : 

I use them as I use other shampoo and conditioner. I use the conditioner after shampooing. 

Result : 

Actually, first, I just use the conditioner with other brand shampoo, and the result is surprising. I really like it. Then I try using the conditioner with the same variant shampoo (this oil care) and tada... dandruff  come. Yep, then I just use the conditioner without the shampoo. I usually use the oil care conditioner with other Dove variant, usually the total care variant and the result is better. 

What I like : 

- Cheap.

- The conditioner works so well. Really love it. 

- Easy to find. Available in almost every store.

What I don't like : 

- The shampoo create dandruff.

Price : Each product around IDR 11,000 (USD 1) for 70 ml.
